I think I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2700 sq ft garage for more outlandish projects...

Hopefully.
It will eventually have 2 lifts (I have just one lift currently), a studio for yt videos, a social area with proper furniture, kitchen, and a display corner for the race car ( a 900 Hp Evo 9).
The place is about 5 minutes from home, so that's a plus.
Many excite.

It's mostly intended as a critique of the common complaint that "all cars today look the same."

In reality, most cars have, at any given time, always tended to look the same. Outliers to this rules are neither more nor less rare today than in the 90s or the 70s or the 50s.

They asked him why he had no protective gear.
He said the target needed protection, not him.
He also added the competition was not fair because the targets were stationary.

Based on what my peeps are telling me, the lowest-lying inland areas just east of SRQ / PGD got the worst of it. All of the runoff went there.

My family in Lerp are still dry, albeit without power.



I seriously do not understand why any auto / property insurance company willingly continues to do business in Florida.

Some of us live on high ground many miles from shore, and in houses built to the newer hurricane standards. We've had a hurricane pass immediately over us twice, and one was rated Cat2 as it went over (was a Cat4 at landfall). My house was fine. The crappy shacks built in the 1930s and 1940s down the road all survived. So did the 1907 built, termite-ridden farmhouse a few doors down. I credit the large grandfather oaks around the neighborhood for acting as windbreaks.

Joe Perez 08-07-2024 02:06 PM

That's what's been brutal about this storm. The flooding wasn't storm-surge in the beach / canal neighborhoods, it's just runoff from the highest-level inland areas to the lower-level ones.

Also, by state law, if an insurance company agrees to cover a house at the top of Britton Hill (the highest point in Florida, at 345 feet AMSL), they're also obligated to cover Miami, Naples, Punta Gorda, etc.

Is that a new law? USAA was not writing homeowners policies in coastal counties for 15-20 years or so but would write them for inland county dwellings. But I haven't checked in 5 years.

Pic unrelated. County fleet manager wants to send a Bobcat to my auction. Says, "It ran when we parked it, so it should be fine."

Could be that it's an old law. Haven't lived there in 25 years.


Nice Bobcat. :)

Smoked my first meat on the new smoker today. A pair of pork tenderloins with a simple dry rub.

It's one of the fancy pellet smokers, where you set the desired temp and then it automatically regulates the feed of wood into the chamber.


https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...eae77f4724.png

This was after about 2 hours, finishing them at 250° after hitting 150° internally. Juicy and delicious.

Does it?

Thus far, yes.

Can it? I desire to prove otherwise in the coming days.

A friend of mine, experienced with this specific type of smoker, recommended pork tenderloins for the first cook, as they are relatively forgiving of mistakes. It took a few tweaks to the feed rate, for instance, to get it to be able to consistently hold 175-180° (a fairly low temperature) without porpoising,
